Ex-ATSIC man denies $4.8m slurge
Extract from Australian Broadcasting Corporation - ABC Online, on 17 July 2004
Former ATSIC deputy chairman Ray Robinson has angrily dismissed claims that he gambled almost $5 million at Queensland casinos. A newspaper report today says Mr Robinson's gambling records show he wagered $4.8 million over a two and half year period. But Mr Robinson says the report is wrong. "How would I gamble away that amount of money," he said. "I would never had probably more than $60,000 in my bank at one time in my life." An Australian Federal Police spokeswoman says the matter was investigated and no charges have been laid. |
